Lumen Tool
Free portrait lighting simulator for photographers in your browser
Lumen Tool is a free, browser-based portrait lighting simulator that lets photographers experiment with light position, angle, distance, softness, and color before an actual shoot. It provides real-time analysis metrics such as key-to-fill ratio, lighting pattern, color temperature difference, and contrast levels. The tool is designed primarily for desktop use and is currently in beta.
Users adjust virtual light parameters (position, angle, distance, softness, color) in a browser-based simulator and receive instant feedback on lighting metrics like key-fill ratio and contrast.
